Re: Faulty ATU 100 EXT
Hi Thanks to you all for your input on this problem, I think the general consensus is the voltages arriving at the PIC inputs from the bridge are too low for some reason. I'll rebuild the bridge

Re: Faulty ATU 100 EXT
Steve If you trace through the schematic you will see the forward and reverse voltages from the SWR diodes are fed to the PIC via a voltage divider using 68k and 34k resistors..

Re: Faulty ATU 100 EXT
Auto tuning with 50w should not be a problem. It should work and it should read something close to the 50. Regardless of whether this is a PIC that has a 4 or 5 volt reference. I think these devices

Re: Faulty ATU 100 EXT
Steve, Try tuning it with 5W. If it works then you need to reduce the number of turns on the sense transformer from 10 to 5 and change the settings in the eprom (needs a pic programmer) so that it

Re: Faulty ATU 100 EXT
I'm not sure which pic controller is placed on the system but depending type the maximum input is between 4 and 5 volt for full power. Looks to me something not correct with the bridge or components

Faulty ATU 100 EXT
Hi Ive just been given a faulty ATU 100 EXT (brand new ready built unit). The display remained dark on powering up, I happened to have a spare display so replaced it which resulted in a nice bright

I think it can be explained by loss in the inductors? If the cores are low Q than the measurements will reflect that. Best regards Onno Op za 27 nov. 2021 23:48 schreef john_mellars via groups.io

Is it really working completely?
#atu-100
Hi I built up an ATU-100. In general it seems to work. To learn more about it, I put a 50 ohm termination on the RF out port and put my NanoVNA on the RF Input and put the atu in test mode. I also

Re: Chinese clones - not working as expected

Curious, what exactly is the Ext port on the ATU-10 do. The github README does not describe it and on VK3PE schematic i can see the connections to RD1 and RD2 but that does not tell me anything. Any

Re: ATU1000 software ?
Hi Guys, Maybe someone will help me .... How to calculate the value that should be entered into Eeprom - cell # 31. I want to measure the power up to 1000W and I have 20 turns wound in the coupler

Josep The 3.5mm 'stereo' socket is designed to connect to an ICOM IC-705. It's a 1 to 1 connection, ie tip to tip, sleeve to sleeve and ground to ground. So, just make up a cable at length you need.?

20 turns is ok. what is your firmware used for it? I do not have same value in #31 depending on the firmware you are using.
